There is no general recommended tire pressure. You should use what the vehicle manufacturer recommends for most common every day use. The recommend (cold) pressure has been carefully evaluated to give proper handling, performance, ride and tire life. The recommended pressure for my wifes 4 door Tracker is 26 lbs. Higher pressures for loads at maximum vehicle carrying capacity would be good but never to exceed the maximum tire pressure and weight rating that is on the sidewall of the tire. Hopefully someone will have the car you have and respond with what their label says.

I agree with the above posting, but will add my 2 cents worth. I use the "max cold pressure" on the sidewall of the tire; this seems to me to give good service (tire wear), traction, and fuel economy. To each his own, but this has worked well for me since 1963.

A search of tire manufacturer web sites and the archives should give you enough information to make your informed decision on tire pressures. Don't forget to set tire pressures on a cold tire as just a short drive will raise tire pressures. In this case if you are using the maximum tire pressure listed on the tire side wall you will then be over the maximum design pressure of the tire. It is my opinion that if you insist on using the maximum design tire pressure you may want to adjust the tire pressure on a hot tire to assure you don't exceed the design parimeters of the tire.

Most Chilton's/Hayne's manuals will have a chart with recommended specs including tire pressure. Pick one up at your local parts store if you don't already have one and you should find your answer(s).

My Haynes says
"Note the reading on the gauge and compare the figure to the recommended tire pressure shown on the placard on the drivers pillar"
That placard on my car is unreadable so I wish to know if anybody has a 92 Lesabre that can tell me what it says on theirs.
Thanks
